How CastFox Ranks Podcasts
CastFox ranks podcasts using real chart data collected daily from Apple Podcasts. Unlike editorial picks or listener polls, our rankings are based on actual chart performance — giving you an objective view of what people are listening to right now.
We track chart positions across every genre and over 100 countries. Each podcast on this page is ranked by its position on the Apple Podcasts charts, deduplicated and sorted to show the most popular shows first. Rankings refresh every 24 hours so you always see the latest trends.
Click any podcast to access its full CastFox analytics profile. You can explore estimated audience size, chart history over time, Apple Podcasts ratings and reviews, YouTube presence, platform availability, and AI-powered web analysis — all in one place.
